Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 478: The Time Has Come
A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! The castle in the snow always feels desolate.The feather-like snow fell obliquely with the squally wind, covering the whole world in a grayish-white haze.
And just in the forecourt of the snow-covered castle, a large group of black figures surrounded them.In the middle of the crowd, a young man with a staff standing in his hands, was trapped in the siege but was not panicking, just looking straight ahead.
As far as he could see, another figure wrapped in black flame also stood still on the spot, staring at the boy coldly.
But whether it was the seemingly crowded party or the lonely party, they didn't mean to do it immediately.The atmosphere in the bright field is already tense to the extreme, but it seems that they just want to delay.
Obviously, neither party is in a hurry at this moment.
...
However, at the same time, Harry and Ron were extremely anxious.
"Harry, I think we must as soon as possible... Time has passed too long," Ron said helplessly, "Although I can't see whether it's dawn or dark outside here, I guess we are probably already here. It took a whole night!"
Harry heard the words and shook his head in distress.
"I want to be fast too! But—"
To be honest, the two of them have been trapped here for a long time.And the most important thing is that they don't even know where they are!
Judging from the surrounding environment, this seems to be a small wooden house with little space.A dimly lit gasoline lamp hung on the dark parquet wall. There were no windows on all sides and no doors.
In the corner of the room, two tan simple hammocks were hung directly from the ceiling, and the two curtains dropped slightly, covering the hammocks somewhat.
On the two curtains, the brown coat of arms with a little badger is probably the only thing that can prove that they are still at Hogwarts-that is the emblem of Hufflepuff College.
Harry and Ron still remembered what Maca had said to them, saying that in order to participate in Dumbledore's funeral, he had to pass his test.But then, they didn't even know what the test was, they suddenly went black and fainted in a corridor of the castle.
What exactly is the test?Think of a way to leave from here?But what test can this play?
Anyway, as soon as they woke up they found themselves locked in this rather small room.There are no doors and windows here, the wooden walls on all sides cannot be broken at all, and there are so few clues.
Seriously, they are almost desperate.
"I think, let's not talk about finding a way to leave, even starving to death is a problem here." Ron groaned weakly, "Harry, what do you think?"
"Don't say frustrating words!" Harry said unwillingly, "Whether it's to fill our stomachs or pass the test, we can't give up!"
"Oh, I mean just talking."
Ron shook his head, then got up again and began to check around the wall.
It's just that this room is really such a big space, and the two of them have already checked every inch of it carefully.Except for the magical wooden wall that can't even be destroyed by a spell, what is suspicious?
"...Although we don't know exactly where this is, we must still be at Hogwarts." Harry said while picking the nail on the board, "I was thinking, we still have to guess where this is. That's fine, I'm afraid this is our only clue."
"Who knows?" Ron sighed. "There are too many rooms in the castle. Not all of them are shown on your live spot map. How can you guess?"
"Yeah!" Harry thought for a while, and couldn't help being a little discouraged. "If I knew that there was still this kind of test, even if I didn't call Hermione, I would have to get the live spot map from her first. With that , Even if we can't see where we are, we can at least see the actions of other people in the castle.
"Hmm..." Ron groaned for a while, and then he was not sure, "Harry, I still think we will be in the responsive room."
"Then we should be able to conjure something." Harry knocked on the wall, and the back was completely solid, "but haven't we all tried it? Even if we say our wish, nothing happens! "
Ron nodded, then gave a listless kick to the wall.
"Anyway, hurry up..." Although he has always been a little weak, he has never really given up in his heart.
"Yeah." Harry also nodded.
...
Almost at the moment Harry nodded, there was finally a sound of fighting in the vestibule outside the castle.It was indeed a "fighting sound", not a confrontation of magic and magic, without a colorful effect, but a real short-term combat.
The stone knights guarding Hogwarts fought with the Dark Dead!
The black deaths who were surrounded by black energy were originally wizards, but under the erosion of the Bewitching Monument, they have all lost the ability to use magic.
The magic of all of them was forcibly transformed into that strand of black energy.And what follows is the incomparable physical strength and defense.
On the other hand, under the influence of some ancient magic, the Stone Statue Knights temporarily gained the ability to move independently.Like a puppet, he waved the stone knight's sword in his hand slightly stiffly, and slashed forward one after another.
In fact, this time it was the part of the Black Death closer to the castle who was forced to start fighting back.
Originally, Voldemort did not intend to start a war, but once the stone statues are activated, there is no possibility of stopping.They have only two tasks, that is, expelling foreign enemies and guarding the castle; and they are given only two behaviors, that is, defending with shields and attacking with swords.
In terms of personal qualities, the Black Death is far superior to these stone knights-both attack power and defensive power must exceed these "fragile" stone knights.
But it was these stone statues who only knew how to lift a shield and wield a sword, but they just made it difficult for those black dead who were full of "counterattack", "offensive" and "killing all" to display their brute force.
Because these stone knights are even more "strand" than the Black Death, and they don't fly like the Black Death, but they have a uniform pace and a square formation that will never be chaotic.
The number of knights of stone statues is quite astonishing, it is only a lot more than that of the Black Death, even if there are still a lot of them before they can be released.
For these stone statues with a little clumsy action, any wizard with a little brain is not difficult to deal with, and it is only a matter of time and magical power to destroy them.
But right now it was the group of mindless black dead who were facing them.
Since just now, every attack of the Black Death will smash several stone knights, but at the same time, there will be at least eight or nine stone swords hitting the Black Death.The defensive power of these stone knights is far from being able to compete with the Dark Dead, but they are not trivial in terms of attack power.
In ancient times, the stone knights were originally used to defend against invading giants.In the face of the terrifying power of the giant, it doesn't make sense to give these stone statues more defense. Only enough number and attack power can stop the giant from moving forward.
You know, where is the defense of the giants worse than the current Dark Dead?
While Maca was staring at Voldemort, the stone knights, which was originally intended to be used only to contain them, did a wonderful job.Just listen to the sound of the stone sword smashing and the broken stone statues, and the mess became a mess.
Because Maca turned his back to the place of battle, he couldn't tell exactly how far the battle was going. He felt chaotic waves of magical power.
But he didn't know, but Voldemort did.
In terms of number, the number of Black Deaths who launched their own counterattack must be much less, but their strength is much higher than the Stone Statue Knights after all.Even if the battle situation was stalemate, and even the Black Death party began to suffer losses, but in the end, it was no problem to clear the stone statues.
However, where is Voldemort willing to waste every precious Black Death in such a place?He wanted to use a secret method to forcefully call back the part of the Dark Dead who had automatically launched a counterattack, but he could not move.
At this time, Maca's staff had glowed, and the rule rune on the top of the staff was also looming.Voldemort had no doubt that if he moved casually, an icy blue beam of light would suddenly swept towards him.
He doesn't want to go to war, at least not yet!
If the servant loses some, lose some!In order to be able to succeed in one fell swoop today, the necessary sacrifices were also worth it-he had endured it so many times, and he didn't care to endure it again now.
It was only because of the fight between the Stone Statue Knights and the Black Death, the hypocritical conversation between the two of them stopped abruptly.Both sides understand that today they have trump cards in their hands, which is already a tacit fact.If you continue to talk hypocritically, there will be no meaning at all.
The air has become even colder.
In this noisy chaotic sound of war, Maca and Voldemort both moved one after another, and they sprang to the south from the corner of their eyes.
It was this look that made Maca's eyes flash a sharp look.
"Luck—"
Maca suddenly yelled, enclosing the magic power of the sound reinforcement spell.Suddenly, the invisible sound wave spread out quickly, and even the violent storm and snow could not be reduced, and in a blink of an eye it spread all over Hogwarts.
At the same time that the shout rang, the staff in his hand suddenly fell into the snow.In an instant, a few faint blue fluorescent lights started to light up from the point where the staff stopped, and quickly wandered through the snow on the ground, spreading quickly to the distance.
While Voldemort's face changed drastically, he suddenly transformed into a black flame, and he retreated into the air behind him without hesitation.Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
